About this book

She's determined to bring a murderer to justice. Can a whip-smart woman solve a crime nobody else believes happened? England, 1953. After her first success, Miss Riddell has caught the mystery bug. Excited to demonstrate that she's a talented up-and-coming detective, she eagerly agrees to help an elderly lady pry into strange occurrences. But when the aspiring amateur sleuth arrives to discuss the particulars, she's alarmed to discover her client dead. Refusing to believe the police ruling of suicide, Miss Riddell follows her own suspicions...to alarmingly incorrect conclusions. And when she's ordered to stay away from the investigation under threat of arrest, the sharp-minded woman realizes the only way to lure out the killer is to offer herself as bait. Can Miss Riddell crack the case before she joins the body count? Then There Were Two...Murders? is the enthralling second book in the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. If you like brilliant heroines, intriguing puzzles, and heart-pounding near-misses, then you'll love P.C. James's delightful story. Buy Then There Were Two...Murders? to collect the clues today __________________________________________ Praise for the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Series: ★★★★★Pauline Riddell is sharp. She is curious, maybe a bit nosey, but she gets the job done. ★★★★★...an easy read, perfect for a winter night in front of the roaring fire-place with a cup of hot cocoa cuddled up with a few friendly blankets. ★★★★★These books are simply a pleasant way to while away a few hours, literary staycations essentially. ★★★★★Good plot, great pacing, interesting characters. ★★★★★A cozy mystery in the classic definition, much like curling up with an Agatha Christie. ★★★★★The author will keep you guessing who did it and why.
